The 31 Day Writing Challenge!

10/1/2016

Have you heard of the 31 Day Writing Challenge? It’s a group of writers that get together and are challenged to write once a day and share their writing with each other and the world. I made a feeble attempt to do this last year with the main theme of Simplicity and Organization Last years announcement post, Shelf Organization, Closet Purge, Cabinet Doors, and then I started getting lazy well actually I started not feeling so good and then had to get back surgery last December. It put a damper on my 31 day challenge last year.

This year I’m super excited about the challenge for two reasons:

#1 I AM going to complete the challenge.

#2 I am having elective surgery and want to share how I’m preparing for it this time around. I’m hoping the next 31 days of writing will help others that have surgery coming up.

Bookmark and check this post throughout the month of October.

Below, links will be added daily for the Simple Steps for Living Life: Prepping for Surgery series.

Please note: all articles are written on SimpleStepsForLivingLife are ONLY my opinions and should NEVER replace that of a medical professional. This series of posts are about what I have learned from having surgery and being about to have surgery again. I am not a medical professional at all, please consult with your doctor or a medical professional when it comes to anything to do with your health.

Good for you for making that goal and for being willing to share your experience with others. I have had several back surgeries and a couple abdominal surgeries so I understand your nervousness. Rest is a good thing so get plenty.

I go blank when I’m writing sometimes too. Well, let’s face it, I go blank when I’m not writing and just going about my day sometimes. haha! Ok, seriously, I’ve read a bunch of articles on tips for writing, brainstorming ideas, etc. My favorite way to start writing is just journaling something I’m going through and then seeing how I can write about what I’ve faced to be able to help others. 🙂 That’s where the Prepping for Surgery series came from. Hope this helps!

Hope your surgeries go well! I’ll be adding more posts this week about prepping for surgery. There’s lots to think about but I’m trying to write to hopefully make it easier on anyone facing surgery. 🙂 Thanks so much for visiting!

Yikes! Sorry it didn’t go so good at first. I’m a little nervous about how painful after surgery will be. My pain tolerance is pretty good(drilled a screw into my thumbnail once and didn’t notice – yep, I’m weird) but abdominal surgery is one of the 2 top painful surgeries that a person can have. Glad to know you are feeling much better!!!
